Book The Gentleman of Wimbledon tickets

Book for the world premiere of The Gentleman of Wimbledon at Park Theatre, running from 16 June to 10 July 2027.

1930s Berlin. A ménage à trois is in play. Baron Gottfried von Cramm has the world at his feet: an aristocrat, an international tennis sensation and one of Germany’s most celebrated sporting heroes, with a seemingly assured future.

But away from the tennis court, Gottfried lives a very different life, in a world of queer love, pleasure and freedom in Weimar Berlin. As Germany descends into fascism, his fame offers him precarious protection, and he must decide how much he is prepared to sacrifice for the people he loves and the principles by which he lives.

Inspired by an extraordinary true story, The Gentleman of Wimbledon explores love, courage and the price of remaining honourable in a dishonourable world.
